Finals season is rough. At a time of year where Christmas trees are put up, holiday cheer is in full swing, and snow begins to start, college students are suffering through hours of catch-up instead of enjoying this time with their families. As sad as it may be, it is the harsh reality of life. Here are some things you, a stressed college student, can do to get in the holiday spirit.

Even if you're not a die-hard Christmas/holiday music fan, listening to one day will help get you in the spirit of the holidays.

2. Take a break from studying and watch your favorite holiday movie

My personal favorite is "Elf."

3. Start gift-shopping for your family

No better way to spread the holiday cheer than making your family happy!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.
